There are items on Amazon now that say "Exclusively for Prime Members". So if you don't have Prime, they won't even let you order it. Unless you pay that $99 surcharge. What a business Amazon is running, they don't even want to take your money.
I don't just have one Firefox window open with tons of tabs. I have multiple Firefox windows open, each with tons of tabs. If I start hearing noises, I might look at all the tabs and not see the sound icon. So I have to then switch Firefox windows and keep looking. I need a sound indicator on the Firefox window icon in the taskbar.

There are many distractions at the office too. Loud co-workers chatting on the phone, etc.

Commuting has been shown to increase stress levels.

Well most companies give their workers a telephone at their desk, and Skype is no different than that. Actually, Skype is better than that because you can see the other person and their facial expressions.
> 4) Communication does not just come down to a few meetings a week that could (with more effort) be done via Skype. By working at home you remove any chance of corridor conversations, which typically, are by far the most productive communication in an office.
It probably evens out. There are probably as many useless corridor conversations that waste your time, as there are useful ones.
You must be a manager.

I'm not a reddit user and wonder how all these mods are locking up pages? Presumably the mods aren't employees, so the employees can just remove mod privileges from the problem mods and unlock all those pages. If the mods are employees, then fire them.
"The currency is currently worth $250...... which began the year at less than $20 and peaked at ten times that by early April – before it all came crashing down."
So it started 2013 at less than $20 and went up ten times. That would put it around $200. Now it is $250, and you call that "crashing down"?
"Lush" is a well known brand. If people go to www.youtube.com/lush they would expect to see Lush cosmetics, not some random guy. Similar for www.youtube.com/mcdonalds. Not sure what the issue is here. He doesn't own the site.
Never heard of Lush before. I suspect you are a Lush employee.
You are overlooking the key part of the statement, "Hadley is a Sandusky waiting to be exposed." Perhaps you are unaware that Jerry Sandusky was a long time assistant coach at Penn State who operated a charity for young, fatherless boys. It was revealed that he had been using his position for years to get into a position to rape some of those young boys.
Why do you presume that the commenter was referring to Jerry Sandusky? Maybe the commenter was referring to a different Sandusky.
Couldn't she put her album onto Apple Music, and when they don't pay her royalties for those 3 months, couldn't she sue Apple? Surely she can afford the legal fees that all the small artists can't.
In a lot of cases, I'd rather trust Lastpass's security over that of a native website,
You would be trusting that Lastpass's security is NEVER broken though, because once it's broken, they have ALL your passwords. If only one native website is broken though, then only one of your passwords has been taken.
Just as a side note, if you're ever on the phone with an complete asshole, hang up and call right back. Most times you'll get a different person.
Or a complete idiot (rather than asshole). Yesterday I talked to someone at Comcast who kept asking me for my new cable modem's serial number. I gave it to her 5 times before she finally said that it's too long for the serial number. Then she mentioned MAC address, and I was like "Oh you want the MAC address? Then why did you keep saying serial number?" My phone actually disconnected a few seconds later, so when I called back, I talked to a different person who actually had a clue.
"Restricted actions include sending invites, opening group chats, and taking part in the Steam marketplace."
So people who want to spend $5 to have no restrictions will find that they are restricted from spending $5?
Um, no, it is hugely different. Circumcising a guy against their will is still wrong, but comparing male circumcision to female circumcision is like comparing an M-80 to an atom bomb. They can both cause destruction, but one is a much larger destruction.
There are actually different types of female circumcision. Some types are worse than male circumcision, but other types are very minor compared to male circumcision (e.g. Type IV - the nicking of the clitoris: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/F...). Yet ALL types of female circumcision are banned. That means male circumcision should be banned too.
Snowden may be using what leverage he has left. He has not yet disclosed all the information he obtained so the US government might cut a deal to avoid further disclosures.
What's the point of Snowden taking all that info if he isn't going to disclose it all?
Has Apple actually fixed the defect? Or are they just going to replace people's logic boards with logic boards that still have the design flaw and will fail within a few weeks/months? That's what Apple has been doing already for people with Apple Care or people who were willing to pay to have the problem fixed - they just replaced the logic board with a refurbed logic board, and the refurb would inevitably fail with the same problem. A lot of people went back to Apple 3 or 4 times to get the logic board replaced because the replacement boards all suffer from the same problem.

That sounds disgusting.

They better remove all these ads if I have to buy this in a year.

Why didn't Reddit employees revoke moderator privileges from those mods who locked down certain parts of the site?

Problem solved.

I doubt that. That'd be pretty useful information.

What facebook needs to do is add a dislike button like youtube has.
Youtube changed their comment system so that if you click dislike, nothing happens. It doesn't decrement the number of thumbs up anymore.
If I want to comment on my local government's facebook page to complain about something why the fuck do I have to LIKE them first.
I've commented on FB pages without liking them. Not sure if they changed that recently.

How many women studied computer science in the early 90's?
I was at University from 1985 - 1990. Most of my undergrad CompSci TAs were women.
But not American, I bet.
